- Does not apply to online-only students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with the exception of undecided online-only students.
- Our textbook and laptop rental program saves students more than $6,800 over four years.

“The textbook program makes my life much easier as a student at Northwest. Picking up a pre-packaged bundle of textbooks at the beginning of the semester and returning them at the end is a simple and convenient process that relieves a lot of anxiety as a student.
Picking up the laptop goes just as smoothly, and you’re able to spend all the money you get as graduation gifts on something other than a laptop. The laptop comes fully loaded with all the software needed to be a successful student at Northwest.
The textbook and laptop programs were very influential in my final decision in choosing Northwest. With the cost of textbooks and a laptop included in tuition, Northwest became the most affordable school for me, even as an out-of-state student.”
